The younger brother of NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, Charles Perrottet, has denied claims that he asked his brother to appoint a cabinet minister to benefit a property developer, during a hearing by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac). The inquiry is examining allegations of corruption within the NSW Liberal Party. Charles Perrottet told the commission that statements made in an intercepted phone call with developer Jean Nassif did not reflect any promises allegedly made to him. Dominic Perrottet is not under investigation and has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Icac is looking into whether conservative figures within the Liberal Party, including Charles Perrottet, Jeremy Greenwood, and Christian Ellis, received illegal donations totaling $2 million from Nassif or his company, Toplace, between 2020 and 2023. In exchange, it is alleged, they helped secure political favors, such as harming the career of former Liberal minister David Elliott, who had opposed Nassif's developments, and removing David Chandler, the former building commissioner who was investigating issues with Toplace apartments. On Friday, the commission heard an intercepted phone call from October 2021, in which Nassif, a property developer, expressed concern about a government reshuffle. He claimed that the police minister at the time, Elliott, had caused problems and that he supported Dominic Perrottet's campaign for the premiership. Nassif said he had been promised that Elliott and Kevin Anderson, the then fair trading minister, would be removed. He also claimed he would take action against Chandler, the building commissioner, to eliminate scrutiny of his developments. Charles Perrottet told the inquiry that after his brother became premier, he did not discuss the composition of the cabinet with him. He mentioned a conversation about the balance of women in the cabinet but did not recall discussing Eleni Petinos, who was later appointed to the fair trading portfolio. Petinos has previously said she may have been used by some Liberals to remove Chandler, but she is not named in the allegations and is not accused of wrongdoing. In a separate intercepted call in January 2022, Nassif claimed he had removed Elliott from the police ministry and threatened to target others, including Chandler. Charles Perrottet suggested the term "commissioner" likely referred to Chandler, but said he could not take such claims seriously. Chandler resigned in July 2022, citing concerns about Petinos, who was later sacked over bullying allegations she denied. Chandler later reversed his resignation, but is not under investigation. Charles Perrottet also mentioned a meeting with Nassif in May 2021 at a restaurant in Melbourne, where he reportedly advised Nassif on how to deal with Chandler by targeting Elliott. He denied making the specific promises Nassif claimed were made during that meeting. Perrottet has repeatedly denied receiving payments from Nassif for political favors, saying he often misled the developer to encourage payments for legitimate lobbying work by a firm controlled by Greenwood and Ellis. Nassif, who fled to Lebanon in 2022, did not appear via video link on Friday after submitting a medical certificate. He has denied any wrongdoing. Greenwood is expected to appear before the commission again next week. The inquiry into alleged corruption within the Liberal Party continues.
